NSWs greatest crime is a gorgeous beach that you're not allowed to use - an explainer This is Pearl Beach, it's across the river from Summer Bay (Palm Beach) and around 35kms to the CBD. Technically anyone can go there, but practically? That's another matter

If this already existed it would be heritage listed and subsidised

A project to restore a *miniature railway* in a seaside village has been CANCELLED due to planning difficulties. The project’s leader has been left with a ‘broken heart’ after his 400m railway plans were prevented.

WiFi - or at least, the critical enabling technology that became WiFi - was invented by scientists at the @CSIRO in 1993, led by engineer and physicist John O'Sullivan. In the early 1990s, indoor wireless data transmission was hampered by the "multipath problem": radio signals…

Progressives claim that low crime is downstream of good public transit, but actually the reverse is true.

My most irredentist opinion is that South Australia should renew the Adelaide Street Circuit's FIA Grade 1 License, so we're ready to take back our rightful Grand Prix the moment the Vics drop the ball.

In the 1990s, America banned the export of "military grade" encryption software. The threshold was 40-bits, trivially crackable in minutes by computers of the day. So two Aussies wrote their own, and gave it to the world, for free. It's now the foundation of online commerce.

Unless you work in computer science, you've probably never heard of SSL, yet you use it every day. It's the security protocol - "Secure Socket Layer" - that enables all manner of encrypted online activities. Online shopping, internet banking, messaging, email, even visiting a…
